I teach Carnatic classical vocal music as well as devotional music, with over 20 years of experience in guiding students at various levels. My focus is on helping students develop a strong foundation in both the theoretical and practical aspects of music, while nurturing their love and appreciation for this rich art form.

I hold a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) degree and have also completed a Diploma in Carnatic Classical Music. My formal training has equipped me with a deep understanding of musical techniques, compositions, and the nuances of Carnatic performance, which I integrate into my teaching approach.

I am a B-High grade artist with All India Radio, Hyderabad. This exposure has provided me with opportunities to perform for a wide audience and has enriched my understanding of performance dynamics, voice modulation, and stage presence. These experiences allow me to guide students not only in practice sessions but also in preparing for performances.

I received my training under Smt. Lalitha Garu, one of the renowned Hyderabad Sisters, whose guidance has deeply influenced my musical journey. Learning under her tutelage instilled in me discipline, precision, and a profound appreciation for Carnatic music, which I pass on to my students in every lesson.

I conduct online classes that are designed to be engaging, interactive, and structured. I ensure that students understand the fundamentals of Carnatic music, including swaras, ragas, compositions, and tala, before progressing to advanced pieces. My lessons are personalized to match each student’s learning pace and style.

I also prepare students for Carnatic music examinations conducted by recognized music institutions. My structured training covers both practical performance and theoretical knowledge, helping students gain confidence and achieve success in graded exams while building a solid musical foundation.

My goal as a tutor is to inspire students to develop both skill and passion for Carnatic music. By combining rigorous training with encouragement and guidance, I aim to help every student achieve their musical potential and cultivate a lifelong love for this classical art form.
